One of the best things about writing a blog is all the amazing people you run into out there in wide world of the web. You may remember that I recently wrote about the Mine collection from Katherine Pont. Afterwards, I was contacted by Kelly, a lucky lady that worked on that very collection. How fantastic would that have been? Kelly thought I would like to know about a new project in which she is involved call Looking Glass. Boy, would I ever! It's an online store whose new collection "encapsulates everything that is feminine, stylish, playful and sophisticated with an all round vintage appeal." I'm especially smitten with the Abigail dress, Lola dress and Nicole top. With the dollar still being buried by the pound the prices are a bit out of my range but it never hurts to look, right? But if you're in the States and have a few extra dollars to spare, they will ship to the US. Just let them know before you order and they'll give you a personalized shipping quote.

Oh, and for those of you who asked, Kelly was also kind enough to let me know that the tights used in the styling of the Mine collection are from Emilio Cavalini.

Gorgeous ! Sadly, as bad as you think the USD to GBP is at the moment spare a thought for us poor Antipodeans, the NZD plummeted from a healthy .80 odd cents to the USD to barely above .50c !!! Which means I have put a complete halt to all ebay and international shopping on the web, am not a happy camper. : (

Oh I'm glad you posted about these clothes! I did a post a while back, fully knowing that only my mom and best friend would benefit from it so it's good to see them getting more publicity with a better-known blog!

I love the same ones you did (hello, Nicole top!) but I also think the Lizzy dress is exquisite!
